BMW Alpina Performance Overview

BMW Alpina’s modern performance record spans 1991 to 2020, covered here by 14 verified tests across eight model years. In this dataset, the line begins with the 1991 B10 BiTURBO Sedan at 5.1 seconds to 60 mph, using the turbocharged M30 inline-six and setting the early benchmark. Through the 2000s, Alpina moved into larger-displacement supercharged and then twin-turbo V8 applications, with output rising from 360 to 600 hp and acceleration tightening accordingly; the 2007 B7 Sedan cut the mark to 4.4 seconds, followed by the 2011 B7 SWB Sedan at 4.3 seconds.

The biggest step came in the 2010s as xDrive and newer N63-based twin-turbo V8s arrived. The 2013 B7 LWB xDrive Sedan reached 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, and the 2015 B6 xDrive Gran Coupe lowered that to 3.7 before a 2016 B6 xDrive Gran Coupe posted 3.3 seconds. By the end of the run, the 2020 B7 Sedan delivered the quickest figures in the sample at 3.2 seconds to 60 mph and a class-leading 11.4-second quarter-mile at 123 mph. Across the full span, BMW Alpina remains a gasoline-only, twin-turbo/supercharged sedan and gran coupe performance line averaging 4.03 seconds to 60 mph.
